Guinea pigs eating their own droppings is a normal behaviour. This is called coprophagy and its a very important part of daily life to help the bacteria in their guts flourish. This in turn helps them digest even more grass, hay and pellets with ease.

GuineaPigCare.com.au was created to pass on the many lessons I've learned owning and caring for guinea pigs since 2007. If it helps just a few guinea pigs in the world live a happier and healthier life, then the site has done it's job. Wishing all animals in the world... The true respect they deserve.
